I like this one from the page you listed.
On the Internet is a freeware utility - PWone. This program prevents more
than one copy of a program from running at a time. This is from the readme
file:
Run PWONE.EXE in place of the program to be limited. PWOne's command line
must contain two parameters:
1.. All or part of the title bar text normally displayed by the program to
be limited (this must be enclosed by parentheses)
2.. The command originally used to launch the command to be limited. For
example, to prevent more than one copy of Excel from running at a time, you
might create an icon for PWOne.exe with this command line text:
PWONE.EXE "Excel" C:\Office95\Excel\Excel.exe
Once run, PWOne determines if a copy of the limited program is already
running (by searching Windows' Master List for the limited application's
title bar text). If a running copy is found, that copy is activated. If no
running copy is found, a new copy is launched using the provided command
line.
